Furries truly are just hella fun. It's deeply sad that the internet culture of my youth was so against them.

Yeah, never quite got how in an internet full of Nazis and psychopaths, so many people decided that who they hated most was the guy who likes to dress as a neon-green wolf sometimes.

I think part of the reason why it developed this way is because (at least historically) the group of Furries has often consisted of many outcasts / people who had few friends otherwise or have been bullied. And the assholes that originally bully people then of course take everything they like as a further occasion to bully or make fun of them.

Who wouldn't want to?

Yeah, I never got the hate. But then, I've always liked fellow outcasts and weirdos.
